but chub for these little cheeks. That and the occasional basket full of clean laundry. Unfolded, but clean nonetheless.
The quilt he’s snuggled in is so perfect. April made it. We are truly kindred spirits. She can read my mind and knows my tastes perfectly. She moved away–been gone for about a year and a half. A gift like this is a sort of two edged sword. I love it, love it, love it and want to take everywhere I go. It also makes me miss April so much!!
Life here has been good. So good. I love babies. Or should I say my babies. I wasn’t much of a goo-er over babies until I started having my own. I love how they smell, the sounds they make, their breath… I love that every two hours or so I have to sit and snuggle to feed them. Really, I wish I could freeze time–or just slow it down and have a 2 week old baby for 2 weeks. No such luck. I feel like the month of March hardly existed and now it’s what, April? Yikes!
And look at him– he’s huge! I’m not sure how much he weighs now at 5 1/2 weeks, but at his 2 week check up he was just shy of 9 pounds and had grown an inch and a half!!
I just look at him and say to myself, “Remember this–how he looks, how it feels to hold him. He won’t remember this time– it’s all mine. These short months of tininess are God’s gift to mothers. The sweetness, perftection, complete dependence are just for me– to treasure, to see everytime I look at him, for the rest of his life.”
He’s beautiful… and so is the quilt!
you are such a wonderful mommy and sil! I think of you and your precious angels! it is so nice to see how he’s grown! I look forward to seeing Ian and so does Becca, she has a new little friend named Sophia who has a 4 mos old sister Isabell. Becca loves to coo over her too and is besides herself when Isabell wraps her little fingers around Becca’s fingers.
give Ian a kiss for us out here in NH!’
-your sister in law..and family
yes, they are divine…
He’s so beautiful!!
I’m glad you are able to enjoy the time with them, even if it is short-lived – they do grow up so fast! 
Beautiful:)))))))))))))
Hi Jess! Your mom gave my mom your blog and I am so glad I got it to see your cute family and what you are up to. Your new little one is precious. I know exactly what you were saying as I look at my five month old. Congrats! Keep in touch.
